Different styles.
Did you ever observe, asks The 81.
Paul Globe, that mans disposition
can be read by the style of hat he
wears and the way he wears it2 Not
so with woman. There is more d.
yersity Of style in women's hats than
mems. But woman always wears her
hair fixed up. So that woman's hat
can be no index TO female character.
1t is different with men. There is a
close intimacy between the styles Of
mems headgear and the science OF
phrenology. The hat is the bump
which infaIlibly denotes the most
prominent trait of character. When a
man buys hat he is governed in the
select on by the peculiar organism Of
the brain. II doesn't make any differ
ence whether the particular hat he Sc
lects is becoming TO him or not he pre-
fers 1t because he is built that way. II
he wears an unbecoming hat he is not
responsible for it. A man never looks
in mirror when he tries hat on. A
woman always does.
The tall silk hat denotes financial
ability. Bankers, hotel clerks, and
police reporters always wear silk hats.
Rich men do not always wear silk hats,
nor are men who wear silk hats always
rich. Still, the silk hat is an unerring
sign of capacity for handling finances
successfully. IL isn't every man who
possesses financial ability that gets rich.
nor is it every man who gets rich that
possesses skill in financering. Not by
a Jug full. We state this that the
public mind may not get confused on
these points.
